Hey i just have a question for everyone out there, i have a crossover cable for my computer and i am trying to ftp over some new mods for my halo2 but, my computer for some reason doesn't recognize the crossover cable... but, whenever i plug in an ethernet cord it recognizes that though... is there some way where i can check if my computer supports crossover cables or what? I am stumped... my friend and i were just modding a few days ago with his labtop and the same cord but, whenever i plug it into my computer it just doesn't recognize it.

there is no such thing as recognizing a cross over cable.
This is what i think is wrong:
usually, you cant give an IP address to an Xbox thats not hooked to the internet, so either hook it to a router that has the comp hooked to it also, and to the internet, or hook it up to your computer but find the tutorial on how to bridge or get on xbox live through your computer to allow access to the internet from the xbox, through the comp, to the modem/router.

Well what i mean is this, i have my crossover cable plugged into my xbox and then i plug it into my computer but then it doesn't recognize it. I just says LAN cable unplugged, but when i plug an ethernet cord into it, it says that LAN cable plugged in... and so thats why i am just wondering if like my computer just doesn't recognize crossover cables or not
And what i just don't get is that, just yesterday me and my friend were using his labtop with my cord and it was working perfectly...

This is how to get on xbox live with 56 k, it basically tells you how to let the connection through. it can also be used with bridging, but were talking about something else though...
(Not made by me)
Alright, it might get a little bit complicated but not to difficult, anyone is free to use it, modchip is NOT required don't flame me and say that 56k slows down Xbox live, IT DOESN'T the only thing it will do I give dooba a chance to play on Xbox live. You must have a pc running WinXP Pro, WinXP Home, Win Me, Win 2000 Pro, or Win98SE
You will need:
A Router OR A crossover cable-
(I recommend using the crossover cable, routers don't always work with this, crossover cable is also called a Patch cable)
An Xbox-
(duh)
An Internet Connection-
(This tutis based on how to do it for a modem, but you can also follow these steps for any internet connection)
An Nic Card-
(This is a networking card, usually built into the motherboard)
This is how the setup should be:
Connecting Using Windows ICS
Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) allows you share one Internet connection with multiple devices, such as your Xbox. You need to use a Windows ICS connection (1) if your cable or DSL modem is USB-based, or (2) if it is an internal PCI modem (56k):
Scenario 1: USB-Based Modem
Follow these instructions if your modem is USB-based.
Scenario 2: Internal PCI Modem (56k)
Follow these instructions if you have an internal modem connected to a PCI slot on your PC.
If you do not have one of these two types of modems, you are better off choosing a different connection type.
About Windows ICS
A Windows ICS connection uses Microsoft® Windows® Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). Use ICS to set up your PC as a host computer through which your Xbox console accesses the Internet. ICS essentially allows you to use your PC like a cable or DSL router. However, you must connect your Xbox console through your PC, and always turn on your PC before playing games on Xbox Live.
Xbox Live is supported through Windows ICS for only Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows 98 SE. Depending on your operating system, the ICS software might or might not have been automatically installed when your PC was configured. The steps to enable ICS differ based on what operating system you have.
Steps will go in this order:
Win XP
Win 2000
Win Me
Win 98se
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows XP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use ICS to share your Internet connection, the host computer must have one network adapter configured to connect to the internal network, and one network adapter or modem configured to connect to the Internet.
Log on to your PC as Administrator or Owner.
In Windows XP, ICS is automatically loaded during installation.
On the taskbar, click Start, right-click My Network Places, and select Properties.
Dial-Up
1.) Below the Dial-Up heading, right-click you ISP (internet service provider).
2.) On the shortcut menu, click Properties and then click the Advanced tab.
3.) Below Internet Connection Sharing, click the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection check box.
4.) Click OK.
The connection to the Internet is shared to your Xbox console.
Congratulation you have successfully configured you 56k modem for Xbox live!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows 2000 Professional
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With Windows 2000 Professional, ICS is loaded automatically during installation. Before enabling ICS, you need to make sure you have the network cards set up and connected correctly.

If you have a PC with access to the Internet via 56k, you will need to add a network card in your PC (Giving it doesn't already have one). When the network card is installed, follow the steps below.
1.) On the Desktop, right-click My Network Places.
2.) On the shortcut menu click Network and Dialup Connections.
3.) In the dialog box, click Properties.
You will see a Dial-Up Network Connection and a Local Area Network connection. Local Area Network should have a red X through it.
Note: You can rename these connections anything you want.
4.) On the back of your PC, connect the correct cross-over cable from the network card with the red X, to your Xbox console.
5.) Turn your Xbox console on.
When you right-click My Network Places again, the red X should be gone. However, you don't have connectivity yet.
Note If the red X is still there, plug the cross-over cable into the other card and check to see if the red X has disappeared.
